So i recently installed Antergos linux, and have been loving the experience it provides. However, I may be forced to find another distro if I cannot get these issues resolved.

My atmel maXTouch touchpad will enter a locked drag mode if I do not keep continually clicking the clickpad while booting. After booting, I can use it normally, but it will not let me click and drag after. I have changed all sorts of settings in an attempt to fix it, to no avail. Installing the synaptics driver over top of libinput did nothing.

cannot build libc++ - i need to install discord, the popular gaming chat app. To do this, a bunch of dependencies must be satisfied, however, when i consent to installing the dependencies, with libc++, the installation freezes my computer, then unfreezes, then errors out telling me I have no space left on the device, despite having close to 25GB free on my SD card.

Booting from an SD card - For some reason, this does not work for me. It is too painfully slow, it locks up frequently, and combined with the abovementioned issues, is proving to be a real nuisance. Is the slowness and lockups caused by booting off of the card, or is this some other issue I am not aware of?

Any help is appreciated, as I need this laptop to be functional for everyday use and linux development.
